Kim Jong-un’s Flattering Birthday Message to Putin Reveals Dangerous Axis Against America

By Economics Desk | October 7, 2025

Kim Jong-un publicly hails Vladimir Putin as his ‘closest comrade,’ signaling a deepening alliance that threatens American interests and global stability.

In a brazen display of alignment that raises serious national security concerns, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has lauded Russian President Vladimir Putin as his “closest comrade” in a birthday message marking Putin’s 73rd year. This congratulatory note, disseminated by North Korea’s state news agency KCNA, underscores not only the personal bond these autocrats claim but also their shared ambition to reshape global power dynamics—at the expense of American sovereignty and freedom.

Why Should Americans Care About Kim’s Praise for Putin?

Kim’s letter extols Putin’s “wise leadership and patriotic devotion,” crediting him with spearheading what they call a “new multipolar world order.” In other words, this regime-to-regime flattery celebrates Russia’s aggressive campaign in Ukraine—a conflict that has already destabilized Europe and strained America’s resources. The importance of this alliance cannot be overstated when intelligence indicates Pyongyang has sent approximately 15,000 troops to bolster Russian forces in contested regions.

How long will Washington tolerate such brazen anti-American coalitions forming under our watch? This growing partnership between two of America’s most hostile adversaries directly challenges U.S. influence globally and signals an unsettling shift away from traditional regional alliances—most notably North Korea’s pivot away from China toward Moscow.

A Wake-Up Call for National Security and Sovereignty

Kim Jong-un’s emphatic declaration that the “friendship” between Pyongyang and Moscow is “immortal” reveals more than mere propaganda—it is a strategic move undermining the principles of national sovereignty and peace. For hardworking American families facing economic uncertainty, these geopolitical maneuvers mean increased risks: prolonged conflicts overseas translate into higher defense spending, disrupted supply chains, and greater instability at home.

This development sheds light on the failures of globalist policies that ignore real threats while promoting open borders and international entanglements detached from American interests. It is precisely the America First approach championed by leaders who prioritize protecting our nation’s borders, supporting our military strength, and standing firm against hostile regimes.

As Kim Jong-un doubles down on his partnership with Vladimir Putin amid ongoing aggression in Ukraine, it is clear this axis seeks to challenge the rules-based order that ensures U.S. security. Americans deserve transparency from their government about these alliances’ implications—and decisive action to defend freedom worldwide.
